Britain's Sonay Kartal has stormed into the semi-finals of the Wuhan Open - a WTA 1000 event - in just her third tournament back from injury.

Kartal continued her incredible form by defeating fifth seed Elina Svitolina 6-2 2-6 6-4.

She will take on former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko on Saturday for a spot in Sunday's final.

Speaking on-court, Kartal said: "Despite winning the first set pretty comfortably, I knew what a great fighter she [Svitolina] is, so I knew that until the very last point was played, I was never safe.

"Super proud of the determination I managed to show in that match, and I just think it was solid composure from me throughout."
